Remove unwanted edges
Cut silence, setup noise or an unnecessary intro and outro by keeping only the time range that belongs in the final clip.
Keeps only the time range between the selected start and end points.
Use the audio trimmer when the useful part of a recording sits inside a longer file. Set the start and end of the section you want to keep, then create a shorter result for a voice note, podcast extract, music practice clip, sample or other editing workflow. Trimming changes duration; it is a different task from compressing the file or changing its volume.
Cut silence, setup noise or an unnecessary intro and outro by keeping only the time range that belongs in the final clip.
Extract a shorter passage from a longer recording for review, rehearsal, transcription, presentation or reuse in another project.
When a clip also needs fades, normalization or another format, trimming first can make the next processing step apply only to the material you intend to keep.
Trimming keeps a selected time range as one result. Splitting usually divides a source into multiple separate sections.
Yes. Set the kept range after the unwanted leading silence and before unwanted trailing silence.
A shorter duration usually contains less encoded data, so the result can be smaller. Trimming is still primarily a duration edit rather than a compression setting.
